Hey folks!

So first off, I understand completely that import_types causes conflicts when used in non-schema modules that are then imported themselves as types in the schema module, and that the solution is to only call import_types within the schema module.

My issue is that if you do not explicitly import_types a given type, you can’t use import_fields on that type. As an example, say I have a more primitive type:

defmodule Primitive do
   use Absinthe.Schema.Notation

   object :primitive do
      field :a, :integer
      field :b, :string
   end
end

I want this to be a sort of reusable fragment in numerous other types:

defmodule TypeOne do
   use Absinthe.Schema.Notation
   import_types Primitive   # this is necessary or import_fields doesn't work

   object :type_one do
      import_fields :primitive
      ...
   end
end

defmodule TypeTwo do
   use Absinthe.Schema.Notation
   import_types Primitive   # again this is necessary or import_fields doesn't work

   object :type_one do
      import_fields :primitive
      ...
   end
end

Once you start importing these types into the main schema however, you run into the duplicate type definition issue: References to types must be unique.. I’m on an old version of Absinthe (v1.4.0) that unfortunately I can’t change, anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!
Mike
